In this paper, we investigate the behavior of cosmologies in homogeneous and isotropic background with a barotropic fluid. We solve the continuity equation and study several aspects of model including behavior of cosmological quantities like Hubble parameter, deceleration parameter, equation of state parameter along with statefinder diagnostic and validity of energy conditions. The [Formula: see text] plane is checked for identification of thawing and freezing regions. We derive the Lagrangian formulation with standard and non-standard kinetic terms for barotropic fluid model. It is demonstrated that the model possesses periodic potential in its Lagrangian description with standard kinetic terms. Using dynamical system analysis, we find the stability of solutions, too. We further explore the thermodynamic aspects at apparent horizon by investigating the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics with equilibrium description. The model exhibits complete cosmological scenario for different values of model parameters and the inflationary scenario decays smoothly into radiation-dominated phase during its evolution. The model approaches to [Formula: see text] cold dark matter model during late times of its evolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
